Ingredients

Servings
  • 12 ounce chicken tender frozen, uncooked, breaded, package
  • olive oil
  • salt
  • 1/4 small red cabbage finely shredded
  • 8 corn tortilla recommendation to use 16
  • salsa of your choice

pickled onion

  • 1 small red onion peeled and minced
  • 1 lime juiced

lime cilantro crema sauce

  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup buttermilk
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 lime juiced
  • cilantro finely chopped, handful
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375F
  2. Arrange your tenders on a baking sheet. This is optional but I like to lightly brush with olive oil and season with salt. Bake for 25 minutes until golden and crisp and registers 165F inside.
  3. Mix the minced onion with the lime juice, give it a stir and set aside.
  4. Whisk the crema ingredients together and taste to adjust anything to your liking. Set aside.
  5. When ready to assemble your tacos, heat a cast iron skillet or comal over medium high heat for several minutes until quite hot. Working with one at a time, heat the corn tortillas until lightly charred on one side, then flip and heat the other side. This won't take long, so watch them carefully. Pile them on a plate and cover with a cloth to keep warm.
  6. Assemble the tacos with a layer of cabbage first, then a fried chicken tender, topped with cilantro lime sauce, and a shower of pickled onions. Finish with cilantro leaves.
  7. Serve asap with salsa of your choice.

Notes

  • *If you don't love cilantro, substitute some chili powder or chipotle chili powder for a little spicy heat in your crema. Add to taste.
